Everybody loves a list. After all, they're fun and thought-provoking, and you can check them off one at a time. Also, people
love to debate the merits of lists, from the rankings to the people, places, and things left off.
Healthcare Traveler offers a number of lists for 2010, and there is something for everyone here. If you like sweets, we tell you where to find
the best chocolate. If you like to exercise, we tell you where to find the best bike race. If you like dogs, we tell you the
best place to take them to the beach.
As you travel around the country on assignment, we hope you have the opportunity to take advantage of some of the fun and
interesting places and events on this list. After all, there is more to a travel assignment than work.
